Technical Report · Tue Jun 27 04:00:00 EDT 1989

OSTI ID:5230249

In 1985, the LaGrande Sanitary Landfill was listed on the National Priorities List, due to ground-water contamination. The landfill is located in Douglas County in west central Minnesota. The 6-acre site is a former sanitary landfill that began operation in 1974. Ten volatile organic compounds have been identified in ground water from the surficial aquifer. Contamination has only been found at monitoring wells on-site. The site is considered to be of potential public health concern because of the risk to human health caused by the possibility of exposure to hazardous substances via ground water. However, the concentrations of contaminants reported in currently available sampling data does not indicate the likelihood of an existing health hazard.
